Hey yall! Your melancholy Christmas song has arrived. It's about letting go and trying to hang on to the beauty at the same time. The unreal feeling of Christmas time in California, almost like they're faking their way through the holiday. And sometimes I've felt like I had to fake my way through the holidays. Grief and heart ache don't take a Christmas vacation. And for most of us, they make themselves rather cozy, in fact, around the fire. It's ok to be a little melancholy in the winter. Tis a season.
